Bening's Jury Announced for Venice
Wednesday, July 26, 2017 at 7:58AM 
Earlier this month, we learned that Annette Bening, hot off her best performance in 20th Century Women, would be presiding over the Venice Film Festival jury. The last female president was 11 years ago so good on Venice for fixing that. Now we know who'll be debating the selections with her as well as the complete jury lineups for all sections.

Yes! David Stratton. He would adore The Bening.
Virtual Reality Jury! Wow
BTW, SPC may acquire Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool. So Annette Bening may have chance after all. Figers crossed.
@ Andrew
Agreed! Oh how I miss seeing Margaret and David on a Wednesday night!
